Enthusiasm:
Expressions of elation –
Show your excitement!!
Like this flower child,
I’m over the top gleeful.
Timing perfection!
I’ve shared confusion
And dismay for the slowness
Of resolutions.
But if I let go –
And put it all in God’s hands,
His timing’s perfect!
I can’t tell you more
Than to say I see the light
At the tunnel’s end.
Yesterday I worked
All day to finalize the
Membership notice
Our Number One pick
Has accepted our first call –
Returning to preach.
The congregation
Will hear her message.
It’s all in God’s hands.
The Lord says, “Relax!
Know I have got you covered.
It’ll be alright.”
Embrace excitement!
Continue to be in prayer.
Let God surprise you.
You know I have been knee-deep
in the process of trying to find the pastor candidate
God has in mind for our Presbyterian Church
here in Ennis, MT.
It’s been nearly a year of searching.
By the end of this month,
I should be able to show you her face…
and tell you about her.
Meantime, she will return in a couple of weeks
and preach to our congregation
and they will be given the chance to vote.
If they approve,
then the Presbytery gets to vote.
The Lord says, “Paaay-shuns!!”
It will all happen in His perfect timing.
I believe that.
But, I can’t contain my excitement
at the prospects of what the future holds!
happens as God intends-
In His perfect timing.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”
Esther 4:14
Perhaps you were born for such a time as this.
Wait expectantly!
Open your eyes to the
fulfillment of your deepest prayers!
Embrace Enthusiasm!
Are you excited about something in your future?
What is it?

I’m so excited for you and your congregation. I look forward to the next time I can visit you and attend one of your services!
I look forward to that occasion, too, Laina! <3
Grace and peace to your congregation. Indeed, the Lord is at work.
Thank you {{{Richard}}} … we feel His presence among us. Happy Mother’s Day to Colleen! (I do recall your wife’s name correctly, don’t ?)
